    why schedule NBA opening night on same date as game 1 of WS?

    makes no sense. also, why is it after all these years that NHL & NBA playoffs run at same time? you would think those 2 leagues would have figured out a way by now to avoid this. perhaps have 1 league start a month later or earlier?

    Because the NBA doesn't care about MLB. I think Mark Cuban said that at one point. They feel like they will win that fight.

    One sport action packed the other a sleeper.

    No one knew when game 1 of the world series would be and it's a different fan base for the most part, NBA fans are much younger.

    yes

    you usually find the bench on every hole as you wait
